well almost I still have to sorten some of the wires before I can steam it.







if you want an engine to fit radio control to this isnt the engine for you, theirs hardly any space in the cab for the RC equipment and Iv had to fix most of it to the back of under the frames.

also their a design fault
if you fit RC and a cab theirs a hole in the roof so you can refill the gas but the regulator is in the way so you have to make another hole further along for the gas canister to fit.

looks like a cabful there mate

Ye, lots of wires, I don't understand R/C one bit, currently looking at a new system for my Baguley, normally I'd try to go cheap but I think I'll be getting an RCS system, because I'll be able to understand how to install it.

Wow, don't think you will be fitting a driver in there! Looking forward to a video of it working.

One thing I would never do to my Millie is fit it with radio
1, because it is a brilliant engine as a manual and 2, there is no space whatsoever, I had trouble fitting a driver in, although to be fair it looks like you have done a good job on your millie

surely useing smaller RC bits would be better, smaller servos,

Ye, my mates Excelsior has got a servo that's about 30mm square .

I was thinking about R/C for my Bertie due to grades on my line etc, and fit the bits in a tender/wagon behind and a tiny servo below the footplate to the regulator... but I think I'll stick to manual for the time being...

"Torak" now theres an unusual name ?

Nice looking Locomotive though.

I've got a Baguley with the RCS system.
It's brill! Utterly reliable and does exactly what it says on the tin!
Well, one gripe - after nine months I had to replace the battery in the transmitter.  :)

Pitty, my Baguley was fantastic but now it seems im going to have to replace the battery in my engine (the battery in the transmitter has lasted over a year for me though )
